PDF Conversion by Drag & Drop


Professional Standard Professional(TS) TS

When you drag and drop the original document file onto the shortcut icon of this product on the desktop, the application associated with the extension of the original document (for example, Word for *.docx, Excel for *.xlsx, etc.) will launch and perform the PDF conversion.

SkyPDF Professional / Standard Icon

  1. Drag and drop the original document file you want to convert to a PDF file onto the "SkyPDF Professional" or "SkyPDF Standard" shortcut icon on the desktop.
  2. If a save-as dialog box appears, specify the folder to save the PDF, edit the file name as necessary, and press [Save].
  • The printer selection screen will be displayed the first time you run it. You can change it at any time from [Print Settings] in the setting screen for the services you want to use.
  • Depending on the type of application and the content of the file, you may not be able to generate a PDF correctly. In that case, please perform PDF conversion from the [Print] menu of the application. (See: PDF Conversion by Printing)

SkyPDF Driver Icon

In product editions where a shortcut icon called "SkyPDF Driver" has been added to the desktop, you can also perform PDF conversion by dragging and dropping to the "SkyPDF Driver" icon.

If you have installed multiple printers, you can select the printer to use by double-clicking the icon.

If you have selected the SkyPDF Pro Driver, which has a timestamp set, as the printer to use with the "SkyPDF Driver" icon, you can also add a timestamp to the PDF by dragging and dropping an existing PDF.
However, the function to add a timestamp to a PDF by dragging and dropping is a function of the SkyPDF Pro Driver. It cannot be used if you have only installed the SkyPDF V4 Driver or if you have selected the SkyPDF V4 Driver in the printer selection screen that appears when you double-click the icon.
